Site: SN2183 - Land south of Wymondham Road, Wreningham
This site lies just to the north of the grade II* Poplars and grade II listed associated barn. Therefore, any development of this site that the potential to impact upon the significance of these heritage assets through development within the setting of the assets.
We have particular concerns about this site, leading us to question the very principle of development on the site. The extent of the historic settlement is clearly defined, and there are views of the roof of the Poplars across the field in question. Development would impact the setting of these assets.
A heritage impact assessment of the site should be undertaken to assess the impact of the proposed development on the listed buildings and determine if allocation of this site is appropriate, and if it is what mitigation may be required. The findings of the HIA should inform whether the site is allocated and if it is, the policy criterion including any mitigation and enhancement.
Complete an HIA to inform the allocation of the site including any mitigation, enhancement and policy wording.
